Too much to write about. Too little time. And too slow an internet connection to post photographs.<\/p>\n
The last two days have been incredible. I have learned a great deal. I have seen three new (to me) wine regions \u2013 ones that I had heard of, tasted wines from, but not seen.<\/p>\n
Leyda, Limari and Elqui are all very interesting, and have lots of potential for fine wine production.<\/p>\n
Some of that potential is now being realized. Vina Leyda are making superb Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Syrah. Tabali are making some very impressive Sauvignon and Pinot Noir from a remarkable new vineyard planted on limestone near the coast in Limari.<\/p>\n
And today I\u00b4ve been in Elqui, where Falernia and Mayu are making very smart commercial wines, and have two Syrah vineyards in particular which could make world class, high-end Syrah (we had a range of 2010 cask samples). We also went up to a high vineyard at 2000 m that was remarkable.<\/p>\n
Now we\u00b4re staying in the mountains for the night and it is truly beautiful.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
